What format is VLC outputting in? The Roku supports a specific set of formats. Look at section 3.1 of the Developer Guide document in the SDK. It lists the supported formats. I believe there have been reports in the forums that some other combinations can work based on what the hardware actually supports, but I haven't done anything with that and am unsure whether it is theoretical but requires changes from Roku or if you can get it to work.Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:32:50 GMTkbenson2010-08-04T18:32:50ZStream from VLC Playerhttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199657#M5058
I am trying to stream from VLC Player (Capture Device) to the Roku box. It there any thing that I need to set on the VLC HTTP streaming to have It pickup on the player. I may using the customerplayer in the SDK to test it out and keep receiving "9,-3: An unexpected problem (but not server timeout or HTTP error) has been detected."<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR />Sam L.Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:06:44 GMThttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199657#M5058compctech2010-08-04T16:06:44ZRe: Stream from VLC Playerhttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199658#M5059

I don't think the Roku box supports VLC's http streaming - you'll have to use HLS via the new livehttp VLC module. I think you'll have to install a nightly build to get it.<BR /><BR />The last time I messed with it my params looked like this:<BR /><PRE>--sout '#transcode{vcodec=x264,venc=x264,width=624,height=352,fps=23.97,acodec=aac,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000,threads=3}:standard{access=livehttp{seglen=10,delsegs=true,numsegs=10,index=/var/www/mystream.m3u8,index-url=http://machinename/mystream-########.ts},mux=ts,dst=/var/www/mystream-########.ts}}'</PRE>Wed, 04 Aug 2010 20:56:50 GMThttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199660#M5061dradon2010-08-04T20:56:50ZRe: Stream from VLC Playerhttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199661#M5062
OK, With the code you listed, do I need to recompile VLC or can I just use somthing else like apache? <BR /><BR />Also where can I find the nightly builds. I am now willing to try it in windows just to see if it works.(Currently using Gentoo) I just got the update to 1.1.2. Will it be in there?Thu, 05 Aug 2010 00:27:08 GMThttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199661#M5062compctech2010-08-05T00:27:08ZRe: Stream from VLC Playerhttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199662#M5063
OK just realized that it is calling the livehttp module. Anyone know where I can get a nightly build (Linux or Windows)?<BR />When I do get the nightly build install do I need a web server or will VLC use the built-in one?<BR /><BR />Sam L.Thu, 05 Aug 2010 00:39:35 GMThttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199662#M5063compctech2010-08-05T00:39:35ZRe: Stream from VLC Playerhttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199663#M5064
Got it semi-working. It will stream if it is in the first 10 segments of the stream. After that if I try to connect is will give me a blank screen with audio. Any one know what may be causing this?Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:44:01 GMThttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199663#M5064compctech2010-08-11T18:44:01ZRe: Stream from VLC Playerhttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199664#M5065
Are you using the built-in vlc server? If so, what command line are you using? I've only used vlc in combination with another server.<BR /><BR />-JTWed, 11 Aug 2010 22:26:48 GMThttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199664#M5065renojim2010-08-11T22:26:48ZRe: Stream from VLC Playerhttps://community.roku.com/t5/Roku-Developer-Program/Stream-from-VLC-Player/m-p/199665#M5066
